Fourth of July Weekend




Friday the Fourth proved to be a little overcast, so we did not end up going for our all-day picnic as planned. Instead, we went to the New England Aquarium!

The Aquarium is located near the Harbor and Quincey Market, along the way we got free samples of M&M Ice Cream! The penguins were the main event and some students spent a long time waiting to see them jump off the rock (Robbie!) and into the water! There were also sea turtles, sharks, rays, and a display of deep water fish (which was Todd's favorite). We also saw a IMAX about the Grand Canyon and water conservation of the Colorado River.

After dinner, we left as a group to watch the Boston Pops and Fireworks! We sat on the other side of the Charles River to listen to the concert (featuring Rascal Flatts) and to watch the fireworks! We played catch with a football and baseball and frisbee while we waited. It was definitely a night to remember!

Saturday we took one group to the Science Museum and one group to Harvard. The Science Museum crowd watched the Planetarium show "What Happened to Pluto?" and saw the "Baseball in America" exhibit. The Harvard trip went to the museum to see the famous glass flowers and walked through the campus. Saturday night we all went bowling at Boston Bowl! There were also arcades and batting cages (my favorite!)
